[edit] Plot

A struggle between light and dark, from 300 years back, is about to ensue. The parties involved are Albert and Michel, the two vampire hunters representing light, and the vampires representing dark. The story takes place in an alternate version of the year 2006, when progress looks stuck in the late 19th century.

Albert and Michel rescues a 12-year old girl named Caroline who witnessed a couple of villagers held hostage by the vampire sarcoma. After rescuing the villagers and Caroline, the vampire hunters proceed into the castle to destroy the remaining forces of dark.

Although the forces of evil reveal that they created Albert and Michel and used them to kill themselves, they became afraid of death and tried to stop them. It is important to note the hunters are in fact Dhampyrs (half-vampires), due to their glowing eyes and sunglasses. The outcome is a pyrrhic victory for the forces of good as the forces of evil is stopped but at the expense of Albert's and Michel's lives.

[edit] Vampire Hunters

No one knows the background and age of the two player characters, although the people entrust themselves to the pledge of Albert's and Michel's determination of wiping out the vampires for good. While Albert is capable of socializing, both share the commitment to destroy the forces of dark once and for all.

[edit] The survivor

The vampire hunters meet Caroline, a young pre-teen whose traumatic experiences of her childhood "ages" her before her years. Appearing to be the only survivor of the vampire onslaught, she is protected by the vampire hunters allowing her to face the perils that lie ahead.

[edit] Vampires

The chief antagonist, Auguste, leads the army of vampires in the battle between light and dark. His accomplices are as follows: Bathe'lemy, a vampire knight who searches for the meaning of life; Guillaume, a demented scientist and genius who was banished from his home because of his sick experiments; Raoul, a dark-minded fencer who wants to avenge his love interest Sophie (mistaken by Caroline) by killing humans; and Diane, a mermaid who fell in love with the vampire and serves the forces of dark as the queen of ice.

There are also normal vampires who attack the players and even villagers who are in the mercy of the vampiric sarcoma, which must be shot carefully or the human will turn into a vampire.
